Anyone want to draw this tree for me? Pen and ink would be fine. Thanks. I think it has CHARACTER!
Meet Jekyll
You remember Daniel’s dog, Tuff? Well, a few months ago he went AWOL while up here… He was found in a rather embarrassing situation at the neighbor’s place… And now? Now, Brandon has his own little Tuff. He’s named him Jekyll. He’s much like his daddy… friendly… CHUNKY… And he is learning quickly how to…
Lost
Sometimes you’re lost, and you don’t know how to find your way back home. Sometimes there are trials and tribulations. But, remember… there is always Love. And if you’re lucky, someone to gently help you find your way.
‘Tis the Season
For a few days now… IT’S CALVING SEASON!!!!
En Polar Air
“En plein air” Used to describe painting outdoors. Easy enough. Find a scene. Gather your canvas and paints (and dog) and have a seat! About that “have a seat” part? Please notice the snow. In the shade. Under the rock. That should have given me the clue, that when I sat down on said rock,…
That Was That
On our walk, the dogs found Something. A very, very, bad Something. It was worth barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkBARK! I yelled. I whistled. barkbarkbarkbarkbarkcomeseewhatwehave! I was two fences and a creek crossing away, so I yelled. I whistled. Suddenly. Silence. I yelled. I whistled. In a flash Eden was on her way back, followed by Dally, both stopping…
Jump Step
Vernon continues to work on his bale feeder… the two rollers in back are now tied together. As he left for the afternoon to continue welding… I mentioned I had a welding project in mind. I described it, waving my hands in the air, giving some approximation of size… and you know what? He nailed…
Wyoming Wind
Wind blows in Wyoming… 103 mph gust in Clark, Wyoming a day or so ago… 70+mph gusts in Casper, where I was raised… Today was NICE, with barely a breeze, but the few days before this were 50/50 days. Fifty degrees, fifty mph winds and just like that… the snow is GONE. Now, in Ten…
Auction
Vernon returned from feeding this morning with an idea to attend an auction. I grabbed some coats, threw myself together (thank goodness for baseball caps!) and we were off! While there’s the appeal of buying something you need or want or justcan’tpassupthisdeal… you can’t help but feel for the guy selling out. Cars and pickups…
Marcus Huff
WOW. That was fun! The Ten Sleep Library was full tonight of history buffs, ready to listen to Marcus Huff spin tales about the real Billy the Kid. For my share of the refreshments, I made apple roses. I have to admit, they did turn out quite pretty! But, hey, forget the food… We came…
Talking About Billy
Tomorrow night, I get to work at the library with a guest speaker. Marcus Huff lives just outside of Ten Sleep. He is the former Editor of True West magazine, and a frequent contributor to The History Channel, Discovery, PBS, NPR, and Fox Television. He will be coming to speak on Billy the Kid, although…
